Living

About my ex-boyfriend, written when we were still together.

I know there’s something more

When he reminds me that I’m alive

The tears dry on their own

And it feels different outside

I don’t know what it is

But my voice still shakes

And when I think about it now

My mending heart breaks

And the shadows on the ground

Manifest into someone real

And for a moment there

The cuts are healed

But then they’re gone

And I forgot what he told me
